MANAGING STRESS

Stress is a state of being characterized by physical and emotional tension brought about by (perceived) unrealistic expectations.

Stress can be a motivating force to help bring about positive change when we have an optimistic attitude and effective skills

Stress becomes limiting when we have a negative attitude and develop feelings of frustration, helplessness, hopelessness, depression and loss of control in our lives.

Sources of Stress:

• . the need to gain approval from others
• .the need to control a situation or person
• . creating unrealistic demands and expectations of oneself or others
• .unrealistic perception of ourselves, others or the situation
